After a hot summer day out in one of North Dakota’s most iconic and beautiful areas, what really hits the spot is some delicious, cold ice cream. You couldn’t have a more perfect day with that combination! Luckily, there is an ice cream place there and even though it can get a little busy during this season it is well worth the wait in line.

Exploring North Dakota's beautiful badlands is a lot of fun, but it can get a little tiresome and hot on a summer day.

The best area to explore the badlands is right by Medora, North Dakota. This small town is a tourist destination everyone should visit at least once. It has a multitude of attractions to make your visit to this amazing landscape a memorable one. There are museums, an old western feel, themed hotels, the famous Medora Musical, and of course a lot of restaurants. Plus the Theodore Roosevelt National Park South Unit is right there for your adventures. But during your adventures, you'll need a pit stop or two to rest and cool down.
The Medora Fudge and Ice Cream Depot is the perfect place to get off your feet and enjoy some tasty frozen treats.

The Depot serves up a variety of scrumptious homemade ice cream flavors in regular cones, waffle cones, or cups.
